The first ever Crittenden County alumni full-contact, tackle football game filled the stands on both sides of Rocket Stadium Saturday night for the Double C Border Bowl.
Rocket alumni aged 19 to 47 to participated while Caldwell County, the opponent, brought a much younger team. The former Tigers' oldest player was just 26.
Crittenden won the game 16-0 as local postman Jeremy Poindexter scored two touchdowns at fullback. Final Score: Rockets 16, Tigers 0.
The best part... no one was injured and everyone enjoyed an entertaining event.
